Military Macaw

This is my favorite birding picture, a yellow-green Military Macaw on his perch. The photo has a sense of dimensional with the background of wood support railing. His vibrant colors are almost iridescent with blue tail feathers and red forehead. Taken in Naples at their public zoo.

Captured at 1/80^th sec as he was shifting his position and balance. ISO 100, 52mm, f 48 in late March morning diffused sun. I printed this photograph on a pearlescent metallic chrome luminescent paper, and detail was outstanding!
